Bann Pae Cabana

Quiet and secluded, just what we wanted. Very nice and relaxing. You need to have a motorbike or a car if staying here as there is nothing near the area except other resorts. This is a place to stay if you want an escape from the city, and looking for a quiet place. Not a place if you are looking for nightlife. Beach - the view is great, but the beach itself is not nice. There were some plants with thorny flowers on the sand so have to wear slippers. A lot of seaweed as well. Would not recommend swimming here. Better go to Suan Son beach where the sand is powdery fine (not white though) while eating seafood! This is a place where locals go. Bungalows are quite old, and for us, that added to it's appeal. We love the open air toilet and shower. However, some kind of animal bit off my soap (bitemarks all over!), and there are bees that made me and my daughter scared to take a shower (but we didn't have bees in the other bathroom - we had the double bungalows). One time, my husband left the toilet seat up, and there was a frog in the toilet bowl when I was about to use it! We managed to make it jump out. So remember to keep the toilet lid closed. This was a very interesting experience! The room is very basic - bed, bedside lamps, TV, DVD, refrigerator with minibar, electric kettle, etc. What we liked most are the towels folded in the shape of animals, and the nice lady even taught me how to do it. My kids really enjoyed the towels. The pool is nice an warm, however we only used half of the pool as the other half is too deep (up to 3 m) and we need to watch our kids to make sure they stay on the shallow side. The staff is great. Most of them cannot speak English, but they try their best to help.
